Apple has sent out invitations for an event on Sept. 15 titled Time Flies, and the name hints at a launch of the Apple Watch and iPad Air, models that had recently been proposed to launch this week. September is generally when the company is expected to launch its next iPhone series, although this year’s iPhone 12 series is expected to be delayed.
To recall, Apple announced in its latest earnings results that this year there would be a delay of a few weeks in the launch of its new iPhone models, thanks to problems in the supply chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Apple normally launches new iPhone models in September and launches them at the end of the same month. An October release is now expected for the new iPhone series, while leaks predicted the September launch of the new iPad Air and Apple Watch models, in fact, they were expected to launch sometime today.
Apple’s ‘Time Flies’ event on September 15 is scheduled to air live from 10 am PDT (10:30 pm IST). Bloomberg Apple watcher Mark Gurman on Tuesday indicated Next week’s launch would see the new iPad Air and Apple Watch series models. To remember, the models in these lineups were recently discovered certified in the EEC, usually a sign of an imminent launch. Both the Apple Watch Series 6 models and the new model that will replace the more affordable Apple Watch Series 3 line are expected.
As with all iPhone releases, the iPhone 12 launch has had its fair share of buzz prior, with four iPhone models expected, including the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, and only expected to the latter is compatible.
